wow great shirt and unique black metal band. I don't think Ive ever seen Ophthalamia shirts anywhere before. Which era is this from? cant remember any references to bathori in any album
yes, definitely an unique band... as far as i know it's original merch released around 1995.... there is a reference to Bathori in the lyrics of My springnight's sacrifice on Via Dolorosa: " ....Be my Bathori, my Nosferatu, my black evil witch/ My delighted disciple....."
Yeah I've seen the vinyl, might be geting that one since it's my favorite record by them(split first place with Via Dolorosa, really can't decide). Really interested in reading the liner notes by IT.
Indeed an inspiration for many bands/ artists/ composers... there's even an opera composed by Dennis Báthory-Kitsz, a descendent of the Báthory family... and yes, strange the name is not written correct here... but a great shirt nevertheless i think

One of Swedens finest bands. Sadly they seem to be all but forgotten here in their homeland.
gloriousdeath on
yes, they definitely were an excellent band...... and criminally underrated !!!!!
Claudandus on
Oh well, Ophthalamia is dead, long live Ophthalamia!
Hope I can get a shirt some day as well. The only thing I own as it is is a bootleg patch.

Interesting how many bands like this Hungarian countess. But her correct name is Erzsébet Báthory = Elizabeth Bathory
